Nominee Leaves Do- tailed Forecast to Party Man agers Enjoys Rest ASSERTS DEMOCRATS TRY TO DECEIVE ON LEAGUE Bv the Associated Trcsi Marlon, O:, Nov. 1. His campaign ing over and hit final analysis of cam paign issues laid beforo the people- on a pre-election statement, Senator Hard ing took a rest today from the long and arduous labors ot the presidential con test. A smilo nnswered those who asked 'or his prediction of the outcomo of to norrow's balloting and in place of any 'pecial pre-election clahn, ho called at cntlon to his public utterances of tho ast few weeks, in which he hns do- clarcd many times that ho fully ex pected .to bo inaugurated next March aV the nation's chief exccMirc. Detailed forecast ou tire result the nominee left to his party managers, saying that he'hnd made bis fight to the best of his ability and was ready to abide by the result. In a final campaign statement issued last night, Senator Harding declared the election tomorrow would turn on two clearly drawn issues : The Paris League of Nations and a constructive domestic policy. The lengue issue, as presented by the Democrats, said the Kcpulican nom inee, Could be summed up simply in this question : , "Shall we enter the Paris Lcngtio of Nations, assuming, nmonc other obliga tions tho obligations of Articlo X?" To this question, he sattl, the Demo crats answered "yes" and tho Repub licans nnswered "no." Tho Republican candidate asserted kalso that the country had answered "no," and that, in consequence, the Democrats had sought to "deceive" the people as to the real nature of the Lengue issue by making it nppcnr that the Republicans were opposed to- -any international association at all, Jn domestic affairs, ho declared, there was a clean-cut issue between the 'fol lies" of the Wilson policies and a defi nite constructive policy" proposed in detail by the Republicans. Nominee's Messago to tho People The text ot his statement to the peo ple follows: "Two Issues are made by fho voters in this campaign. One of them is the foreign policy of th9UnItcd States. The other is the domestic policy ot the Unjtcd States. "Between our Democratic opponent and tho American people who are sup porting tho Republican party theso Is sues are clearly drawn.

"The issue as presentod by tho Dem ocratic administration and its repre sentatives in this campaign is simply tho question : 'Shnll wo enter tho Paris Leaguo of Nations nssumlng among other obligations the obligation of Ar f. ;: w ucip ai "Tho answer of tho Democratic group is 'yes.' Tlio nnswer of tho Repub lican party and its candidate is 'po.'- .Why Republicans Answer "No" "Tho reason for answering 'no' to the question drawn by our opponents Is that America is 'not ready to mortgage her conscience to tho old world or cn gago to send her boys to war to carry on nn old European ' controversy, or place her resources at the beck and call of a group of shrewd diplomats acting for an armed alliance masked under the benevolent title of the League of Nations. "America has already given her an swer to the proposal to give up our nationality and our flag. That nnswer is 'no.' and 'no' is tho answer of the Tteniihllean narty. "My Democratic opponents hearing that decisive 'no,' would like to change the issue they havo presented and make an issue on- the question of what our party will do anout n league oi is a tlons. "I havo told them what I would do. I have told them that I would do my best to unlto America behind a plan for an association of nations which wo may join with snfety, honor and good conscience, but without selling our birthright for a mess of military pottage. I have said from first to Inst in this campaign that I would consult tho Senate and consult the neonle. be cause I am deeply Impressed with the utter failure and waste of an executive policy of fabricating a League of Na tions first and consulting America afterward. Would Consult America First "I want to consult America first. and tnke a course which will unite America and make it possible to join a world fraternity of nations, rather than a course which will divide America and make it impossible for us to do anything. A Democratic victory means a continued deadlock with tho Senate. which has been so fruitless and will be fruitless lorcver. "Our opponents have asked tr American pcoplo to approve their dralt of a league. The American peole have said, 'no.' This means that the man who is elected President must set his face toward a constructivo plan. I have pointed tne way.

NEW FARE CAUSES GREAT JAM ON "L" Seven-Cent Rate and Four Tick- ot3 for a Quarter Present Perplexing Problem DELAYS ON ALL LINES P. R. T. Short of Tickets; Asks Patience of Public The public is urged to be patient with street enr conductors today. The new tariff, providing seven-cent cash fares or four tickets for twenty five cents, went into effect this morn ing. The heavy demand for the tick ets exhausted the first supply on mnny lines. Many conductors had 'difficulty also in getting enough pen nies for change. Thousands of car riders stood jammed four abreast on the steps leading to West Philadelphia "L" stations this morn ing whle nu extra force of ticket sellers, buried tinder nn avalanche ot small change, coped with the new nnd per plexing problems of the seven-cent tare, with four strip tickets for a quarter. The same delay, accompanied with loud protests from scares of passengers wuo were caused to Be from ten to lit teen minutes late fof work, took place on the surface line) nil oyer the citv. -'At the.

Despite the well-thought-out prepara tions of the P. R. T. management, the1 rush from 7 until after 0 o'clock over whelmed ticket sellers and conductors. The turnstiles are expected' to move faster and click more merrily and less crowding is expected during the home ward movement this afternoon. This is because the average car rider laid in a generous supply of the coupon tickets on his initial rldo this morning and will not have to wait for change on the re turn trip. Tho demand for tho ncV tickets ex ceeded all anticipations. Five million of tho tickets were printed Jast week. When the rush to work assumed its greatest proportions this morning the supplies ot tickets becamccxbaustcd and runners were dispatched from the P. R. T. Co.'s offices at Eighth and Dauphin streets with extra strips. Conductors Are Confused, The shortage of tickets confused many conductors, who hesitated as to what they should do, nnd finally refused to take on any more passengers. Thomas E. Mitten, president of the P. R. T., whose straight fivo-ccnt fare plan wns scrapped by the Public Serv ice Commission in making way fo(f the present higher fare, prepared special orders to guide employes in collecting 'the now rate. t "Conductors will be most careful," tho order ran, "to cancel strip tickets uftcr presentation by tlio car rider. "Conductors arc forbidden to sell sin gle tickets for seven cents from a strip. "Every ..conductor will be supplied with a uniform number of strip tickets. "Emergency supplies of strip tickets can be purchased by a conductor from other condustors. "Since the seven-cent fare involves the use of nioro pennies, conductors should carry several hundred more pennies than usual. "All conductors arc urged to be courteous and help car-riddrs as much as pOHslblo to an intelligent understand ing of the new fare. "Persons protesting against tho new rate are to be referred to the company's offices at Eighth nnd Dauphin streets, Hell telephone number Diamond 7000 and Kcj stone, Park 1300. "No conductor is nt present required to sell more than $2 worth of strip tickets to one passenger," Extra Cashiers on Hand Extra cashiers were on hand at all "L" stations in West Philadelphia, to speed up the sale of the strip tickets this morning. In nearly every instance the rider took advantage of the four coupon tickets for twenty-five cents feature of the new fare. Despite tho additional cashiers, the process of making change caused long lines to form In tho direction of the turnstiles. An innovation at surface Intersections nnd junctions was tho -appearance of cnshicrB'who marketed strip tickets on tho street. . WHERE TOMORROW?

George White, Democratic national chairman, declared "Cox and Roose velt" will win. Mr.' White, in a final formal state ment, said that victory for the Demo cratic presidential candidate will mean that "militarism goes to jail forever," and that Republican success will mean that "militarism is free to murder and pillage again." The Democratic chairman, in) his statement, also said: "There is one great decision beforo the American voters tomorrow shall this nation join the league with safeguarding reserva tions and thus assuro world peace, or shall this nation reject the league and let militarism continue to run at large?" He asserted that tho "peace of the world and progress of the United States" depend upon tho votes tomor row. , He Insisted that the only way to obtain tho league nnd peaco is through a vote for Governor Cox. "Wo havo fought an absolutely clean fight," Mr. White's statement con- i eludes.
